Holiday Train Gardens Bring Out Their Inner Child

Holiday Train Gardens Bring Out Their Inner Child

LISTEN: As the trains rumble past, WBAL's Bill Vanko talks to two of the men who labor for months to build the huge holiday train garden that's been a fixture for the last 25 years at The Shops At Kenilworth:

They aren't as common as they used to be, but holiday train gardens are still crowd pleasers wherever you can find them.

Around Baltimore, The Shops at Kenilworth have been putting up one of the biggest train displays in the area for 25 years. It's the work of a small group of men and women who pour months of time and effort into building a new display from scratch each year.

This year Tom Sellars and Tony Zingarelli have spent the last few weeks putting the finishing touches on the mall's annual display that includes not just trains and cars, but blimps and balloons, a huge suspension bridge, and a re-creation of the Ravens' Superbowl win over the 49ers, complete with tiny moving figures of Joe Flacco and Jacoby Jones.
